Drivers use less gas but pay more at the pump
Consumers drive less and buy fuel-efficient cars while U S oil output rises yet gasoline prices stay between 3 and 4 dollars. Ohio’s July average 3.41 versus national 3.65. Demand drops since 2005, with production up 30 percent since 2009, yet exports keep price pressure. Gas prices likely to stay high as refineries seek better markets abroad.

Court arguments aplenty in truck stop case
Citizens for Responsible Development and Pilot Flying J clash in Warren County court filings over a $9 million truck stop site plan at Ohio 123 and Interstate 71 in Turtlecreek Township. The dispute centers on whether restaurants and overnight stays are prohibited by industrial zoning and on conditions including security, landscaping, and electrification for idling trucks.

Artist chooses Middletown for arts focused studio and gallery
World travelled artist Chris Lohr moves from Cincinnati area to downtown Middletown across from the Sorg Opera House. She buys the 19th century Pickwick building at 56 S Main St to establish a studio and gallery with plans to live on the second floor. Lohr aims to be a keeper of Middletown’s artistic treasure and will restore a well maintained 1836 structure with support from local arts groups and institutions including Pendleton Art Center Sorg Opera House Art Central Foundation and Middletown Arts Center. The city’s downtown revitalization focus on arts education and its hosting of the American Watercolor Society Exhibit drew her here.
